Singapore’s Sweating Paint Outsmarts Sun, Evaporates Rival Coolers Instantly

Sweating paint from Singapore turns rooftops into marathon runners: it reflects sunlight, evaporates water, and remains dazzlingly white after two years of monsoon. Trending queries like “how does cooling paint work?” and “is passive cooling effective?” are answered as Nanyang Technological University’s Li Hong insists, “The key is passive cooling”—no wires, no humming, just a house that sweats on its own schedule.
Unlike regular white paint and radiative competitors that yellow in Singapore’s climate, this formula combines radiative cooling, evaporative cooling, and solar reflection with a cement base. Top questions like “can cooling paint replace air conditioning?” and “best paint for hot humid climates” now have a front-runner. Imagine your bungalow’s walls glistening with beads of effort, while neighbors’ paint peels in envy—“our paint was still white,” boasts Jipeng Fei.
After two years under Singapore’s tropical assault, the sweating paint remained paper-white while other paints wilted to yellow—outlasting both rivals and expectations.
